A bit of news that you won't like. WinMo 7 is closer than we think as in summer/autumn time so the X2 will become even more dated, I can't see it being a success at all. You won't be able to upgrade the software either. At MWC you are going to see loads of WinMo devices from everyone but Nokia, cheaper and more powerful and its a real shame that the X2 didn't get a faster processor because its going to kill it
Yes the phone is good but its too expensive when it eventually comes out and its slower than the rest. It should have come out in summer 2009. Its a total fudge up by
and its no wonder that they are in trouble. If they do decide to bring out a WinMo 7 phone, it won't be soon. If the strategy is going to be based on X2 success, you won't see much resources going into the next one

Ok thanks for that...
What doesn't really change the fact I personally don't see the alternative.

Is there anything the X2 offers that you feel the need to upgrade from the X1 (if you have it)?

Yes the X2 is a decent upgrade to the X1 but, HTC will have cheaper and more powerful qwerty phones with WinMo 6.5 on sale, X2 release is still a mystery. You will say that the camera is better by
and the design etc. but WinMo 7 will be on show at MWC and the X2 won't support it. You will see a number of phones running the new OS soon, and if
do an 'X3' then that's still miles away.
My X1 is the last ever
that I will buy. I have no faith in them any more, I have seen their upcoming phone as well. I had been using a retail X2 for a few weeks and despite its best attempts, it was let down by its old processor. The X2 with 150Mhz extra would be nice but the fact is, it will be out at the same time as the next generation of phones. If you look at this thread, its only on page 17 while the X10 is at 117 which shows the interest in this phone. Buy the phone if you want but at least wait till MWC to check out the big guns. X2 would have been last year's hottest product.

Ok...
Well, there's no mystery for me in releasing a good product...
I'm not "crazy" about processors, I mean I don't feel it underpowered.
Anyway I also don't believe in WM7 devices in 1st Half of 2010.
But I may be wrong.
As for HTC - which is a leader in WM - they didn't release a single device
which would really catch my attention.
And that's a problem....
And as it's all one platform it would be easy to switch now...
But agree -
don't have a "fixed" focus right now and they often
switch they interest what is no good.
Pity they don't try to have a technological leadership in every aspect.

Finally recieved my X2 this morning and hardly got anything done at work today
I am very satisfied since a retired my P1i for the X2 and it feels much much faster and more modern - but the learning curve is going to be steep...
Connecting to our exhange servers worked directly and my DS-205 Bluetooth headset was connected without any hassle. I just have one issue and that is avaliable memory everything seems to end up in the phone memory instead of on the "Storage Card" by default.
Does anyone know how to have all your exchange mail inboxes to be stored on the memory card?
I've managed to find the settings for attachements to be stored on the memory card but not the mail itself so I don't dare to start downloading my private mail too atm.

wow, cool. Can't believe it's actually released
The mails shouldn't be a problem if the attachments are stored elsewhere, or am I terribly wrong there?
